The court dismissed a civil action as frivolous and vexatious pursuant to Rule 2.1.01 of the Rules of Civil Procedure.

The plaintiff alleged that beverages he purchased were spiked with crystal methamphetamine by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Canadian Security Intelligence Service as part of a 43-year conspiracy against him.

The court found the statement of claim lacked legal basis and merit, consisted of conclusory assertions incapable of belief, and articulated a wild conspiracy theory devoid of material facts.

The plaintiff's written submissions demonstrated the action would be conducted in a vexatious manner and would consume disproportionate court resources.

The court considered a motion referred by the registrar's office pursuant to Rule 2.1.01(7) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, following a written request from counsel for the defendant His Majesty The King in Right of Canada under Rule 2.1.01(6).

Upon reviewing the statement of claim, the court found that it may be frivolous and vexatious.

The court directed the registrar to provide notice to the plaintiff in Form 2.1A that the court is considering making an order under Rule 2.1.01 dismissing the action.

The action was stayed pending the outcome of the written hearing, and the registrar was directed to accept no further filings except the plaintiff's written submissions in accordance with Rule 2.1.01(3).
